Their homeland is in what is now modern Zimbabwe and it's surrounding regions. The Ndebele tribes were subjected to genocide by Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe after the country (formerly called Rhodesia) became independent from Britain in 1980- the Ndebele had supported Mugabe's rival NAPU party in the ensuing general election which was led by Joshua Nkomo. It is known as 'The Matebeleland Genocide' and lasted for a period of 3-4 years, following an agreement between Mugabe and North Korean President Kim-Il Sung for North Korea to train a section of the Zimbabwean Army, known as 'The Fifth Brigade', to suppress 'malcontents'. Hundreds, if not thousands, of Ndebele people were subjected to mass executions, atrocities and abuses by Mugabe's regime.
